Kevin Austin Jr. News
Sunday, January 4, 8:27 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr. is expected to have an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints will be without Chris Olave (illness) and Mason Tipton (groin) for the regular-season finale. The absence of those players should push Austin into the No. 1 wideout role in this offense. With all the injuries to the Saints' wideouts, Dante Pettis should also see an increase in target share on Sunday. Austin made himself known to the league when he hauled in four receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 17's win over the Tennessee Titans. Austin was able to do that with Olave healthy for that game, which means he should be able to produce more without him this weekend. Fantasy managers with something on the line this week can use Austin as a FLEX play, or in DFS contests, might want to target Austin as he's priced at only $3,400 on DraftKings.

Elijah Sarratt News
Saturday, August 15, 7:20 PM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Elijah Sarratt caught six of his seven targets for 66 yards during Saturday's preseason contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie fourth-round pick led the team in all three categories -- catches, targets, and yards -- as the Ravens won 24-7 in Week 1 of the preseason. Although fellow rookie Ja'Kobi Lane had the team's lone receiving touchdown, Sarratt was by far the most involved, showcasing a rapport with both Joe Fagnano and Austin Reed. The path to immediate playing time for Sarratt is a bit murky, but a strong preseason will certainly help his case. As it stands, he's behind Zay Flowers, Lane, and Rashod Bateman in the pecking order -- and possibly Devontez Walker, too. The Indiana product sits at WR71 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
